Interesting... methinks that has helped motivate the Everglades decision. We just got ourselves a couple of new drop tanks, and these are big drop tanks. Particularly Eastern Siberia. That's an area like the North Shore of Alaska. Might as well take advantage of that.

I think the East Siberian resources would be economical for Japan, with which it could replace Arab oil. I believe the gas and oil in Sakhalin Island are intended for Japan - and deals were formalized and secured after 9/11 - the biggest impediments to earlier development apparently being Russian and provincial bureaucracy and mindsets.

Thanks Osama!
